IKTCH 30 inch Built-in/Insert Range Hood 900 CFM, Ducted/Ductless Convertible Duct, Stainless Steel Kitchen Vent Hood with 4 Speed Gesture Sensing&Touch Control Panel(IKB01-30)

Did a lot of searching for ventilation fans while building our new home. Liked the price and features of this fan. Product is better than expected. Installed in our new home. Builder was impressed with ease of installation and quality of materials. The different features are impressive. The strength of the fan with different settings is amazing. Lighting is bright but not overpowering. And the touch less feature is a bonus, not having to touch controls with greasy hands!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very compact which meant it fit inside my existing custom hood vent housing. Moves air well and the light is bright. Controls are also simple. I thought I was missing the part that connects exhaust path, so I contacted the seller's customer service. They explained that the connection part is often shipped inside the larger hood, and sure enough that's where it was.In short, a good product that works in lots of scenarios, at a good price and with good service.Suction power:highest level of suction power at a regular priceTouch control:the controls are tucked away underneath, not at the front, which worked with my existing hood vent cover

We have had this for over a year and it works great. It can be a little loud on high if you are in the kitchen, but not so bad in the dining room next door. The fan is powerful enough to pull out rangetop smoke and heat from the stove. Lights are very bright. Would definitely buy again

Things I like:+ Hands free operation for fan and lights.+ Powerful lights.+ Easy to clean, commercial kitchen style filters.+ Easy to install with two people.Needs improvement:- Internal baffling to get flow from corners by lights up to the fan intake.- NOISE REDUCTION. Seriously. It’s very loud even after you get it surrounded by fascia. Most of the noise comes from the vents so you can’t dampen it. A higher quality fan with some sort of isolation between the fan and the metal surround would vastly improve this

The media could not be loaded. You need an outlet installed behind your range hood for plug in option or hardwire. I opted for the plug-in. I needed an electrician to install the outlet because I originally only had an under-the-cabinet range hood that was hardwired.I purchased this 30in range hood to fit in a 36" decorative range hood cover. Easy installation for someone who is good with tools. I had sanded plywood and 2x2 lumber lying around so I routed out the rectangle for the face and used the 2x2s as instructed in the directions to keep it secured and prevent it from dropping down.How it works:- the range hood has the ability to be completely off where there is no power (you won't see the blue power symbol lit) or in power on mode (blue power symbol is lit). It will not function by manually pressing buttons or by using the remote unless the blue power symbol is lit up to indicate that the range hood is powered on.- light has one setting: off and on. It does not dim or get brighter- fan has 4 settings, 1 is low, 4 is high.- range hood is either ducted or ductless. Comes with a exterior cap if you use that option or a carbon filter than gets installed on the right side of the interior of the range hood. The directions explain that the range hood is going to be louder if you use the ductless option. I opted for ductless to avoid cutting through the wall.- the remote works great in close proximity or directly facing the range hood.- the two vents at the face can be removed. Pull the tab to release the tension. Place the vent back in the slot with the tab pulled, press it into place, then push the tab back to the original location so that it's flush and not hanging.

It fits perfectly in our kitchen. Very modern looking. I really love the motion sensor. It stopped working for some reason so I emailed customer service. They were super helpful and quick to reply. They replied within the hour. It turns out I just had to reset it and they explained how to do so.

Giving 3 stars because we have never gotten the remote to work with it.It does it job well and I like the the buttons are easy to use.
